Day 3 Teisho Rohatsu 2013 at the Sydney Zen Centre in Annandale

Maggie gives Teisho on Day 3 of Rohatsu 2013. The talk covers Case 13 of the Wu-Men Kuan, the ‘silent teaching’ of Te-shan. Maggie discusses other cases where a master teaches a student using a quiet touch.

Maggie discusses the dilemma that students may find themselves in, seeking to pass koans in order to distinguish themselves and thus, losing their way.
